I just realized, from your comment, how much power companies will have if they start including "emotional manipulation" in their dark pattern arsenal. Which I am sure will horribly backfire in some way if used
Oh, it won't backfire, it'll instead be seen as a move towards "empathetic computing", with the larger goals for society now integrated into a constantly available in-your-face AI "influencer" live-commenting and emoting to everything you do. It's the next revolution, it's shitty and it'll make a lot of money. Imagine the twitch addicted zoomers getting access to Bing "AI"'s spinoff, "microsoft streamer" or whatever, that's always on, always ready to "help" and tells you what to think!
It's perfect, pretty soon you'll have to pay extra money for an actual computer instead of a thin client. Everyone's just waiting for the much-vaunted graphics compute unit breakthough. Even Intel is doing graphics cards now.
If you think attention-deprived kids that can't stay away from their computers are bad now, just wait until kids start empathizing with their "AI" "assistants" and using one is mandated everywhere (just like a computer is now). Society will collectively LOSE it. I'm sure that then, there'll be start-ups ("government certified", of course) that specialize in "social maneuvering" that use robots and thin clients to make people meet one another for interactive, half-screen half-in-person events.
